Accessories for your hair

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sparkly clips and headbands are like jewelry for your hair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There’s an art to clips – Part your hair to one side.  Now grab the bigger section, tease the roots, spritz with hair spray, twist once or twice, then secure your barette.  If your hair is fine, your accessory might need an accessory – reinforce it with two criss-crossed bobby-pins.

A truly brilliant idea. Spotlight your hair flair by applying a shimmer spray to the strands the clip is holding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Headbands are easy. Plop one on. Done. And know this: If it’s elastic or fabric-lined, you won’t get headband headache.

 

 

Quest for mother-of-pearls

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the past, some of the world’s finest natural pearls came from the Persian Gulf region.  AS early as the third millennium b c, the Sumerians may have been the first to discover the pearl, while gathering oysters along the shores of the Persian Gulf.  Persian Gulf oysters were gathered for their mother-of-pearl, which was used as an inlay material in ancient Egypt as early as the sixth dynasty(3200 bc).

Pearling in the Persian Gulf dates back several thousand years, taking place along natural oyster beds found in underwater geological formation known as the pearl banks.  The pearl-banks pearling grounds stretch along the Arabian side of the Persian Gulf, from Kuwait and the island of Bahrain in the west to Oman on the tip of the Arabian peninsula a the Strait of Hormuz, and to Kish Island in Iran on the Persian side of the Gulf

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

European interest in the pearl banks of the Persian Gulf region was recorded in the early writings from Greek and Macedonian explorers, and Ptolemy wrote about the pearl fisheries which existed at Tylos, the Roman name for the present day Bahrain.  In the Greek historian Pliny’s book Historia Naturals, he wrote “ The most perfect and exquisite pearls are found in Arabia, within the Persian Gulf.”

From the 1600s on, pearls banks were exploited in the waters around Bahrain, near Dalmah Island off Abu Dhabi, Abu Musa, Ormus, and the Lavan-Kish Island group.

Due to the high demand for mother-of-pearl from the native mollusk, the easily accessible oysters that bred in the shallow tidal waters became over-harvested, and it became increasingly necessary to perform deep diving for oyster collection.
